ABook reading is certainly one of the most absorbing habits. For young adults who love to read, finding some good books to read is very essential. Writing a book review can help you to improve your language and writing skills.The Book ThiefListed on The New York Times Children’s Best Seller List for over 100 weeks, The Book Thief by Markus Zusak is the story of a young girl in the Nazi camps set during World War II. So, if you love history and wish to learn how the life was during Adolf Hitler’s time, read this historic book.The Diary of Young GirlEven Anne Frank can not have imagined that her personal diary written during World War II would become such a popular book. It’s a must read that describes the situation of a family in the evils of wars through the eyes of a teenager.Animal FarmAnimal Farm is one of the most popular books by George Orwell. It is just a reflection of the Stalin and World War II period that has been so creatively presented in this book. It is an interesting example of how literature can be used to present conditions common in the society.Adventures of Huckleberry FinnMark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is one of the great American novels in history, and is certainly a great pick for young adults. Young Huck Finn and his mischief along with the colorful description of people around the Mississippi River make this novel a great book to read.1.

The purpose of this passage is to _________.A. instruct youngsters how to improve skillsB. tell youngsters some wonderful reading habitsC. introduce several good books to youngstersD. give youngsters advice on writing a book reviewBTwo years ago I was very lonely and didn't talk with anyone about my feelings. At the time I didn't have many friends. I wanted someone to share my experiences and secrets with. I wanted someone to understand me. I started to imagine this friend. Often I imagine our conversations and what we would do, but I didn't give my imagination a face.Some weeks later I started a new project in school and I was working with one of my schoolmates. We had never worked together before but we got along well. After the project we started to spend some time together in school. One day we decided to take a walk. Ever since that walk we've been friends. We listened and really understood each other.I had wished for a best friend, but the universe gave me so much more. I have met one of my soul mates(挚友). We can sense each other, and it just takes one look and we know what the other is thinking. I didn't think our friendship could grow much stronger. But now we have known each other for two years and our friendship is growing all the time.It hasn't only been easy. We have gone through both easy and hard times. But I'm grateful for the hard times, because they have forced me to grow and taught me a lot. My best friend has changed me. She has made me believe in myself. And I am now focusing on achieving one of my biggest dreams. Without her, I wouldn't even have realized what my biggest dream is.I know there are soul mates out in the world for you. I am so thankful to have met one of mine. Believe in them, and your paths will cross.4. What did the author do before meeting her soul mate?A. She chose to stay alone.B.

She went through them easily.B. She has learned a lot from them.C. They have made her suffer.D. They have made her dream come true.COn one occasion, while visiting my parents, I happened to meet the little boy who lived next door. It was obvious that his mother had told him not to come over uninvited. He was standing on the very edge of his yard with an anxious look on his face, seemingly about to burst.My father waved him over and performed the introductions. “Eliot, this is my son, Gary. Gary, meet my little friend, Eliot.” To my delight, he reached out his small hand an d I accepted the formality(遵守礼节) with a smile.Unlike most children, this teenager was not shy of meeting a stranger. As a matter of fact, he turned out to be quite a chatterbox. Eliot had me laughing as I listened to the excitement in his voice for, as you know, it was a big deal to find a toad (蟾蜍)! His descriptions were priceless as I asked the obvious questions concerning the capture(捕捉). He was pleased that I showed interest in his adventure and gladly explained its details.Since Eliot seemed so willing to invest in our budding friendship, I asked him a question, “Do you like banjo music?” He got very excited and answered me with a hearty “Yes!”I took out my banjo from the car, but when I sat next to him and started playing, Eliot looked at me wi th a puzzled expression. He asked me “What’s that?” in all seriousness.My dad and I smiled. The boy who just “loved” the banjo didn’t recognize that I was holding one and that what I was playing was “banjo music”.I realized that his heart was in the right place. Eliot just wanted to please his new friend with that “Yes”, thinking it was what I wanted to hear.Well anyway, Eliot likes the banjo for real now. And I like Eliot.8. When Eliot saw the author, he _______.A. came into the yard to greet the authorB. gladly introduced himself to the authorC. showed no interest in visiting a strangerD. was eager to get to know the author9. From the passage we know Eliot was ________.A. seriousB. shyC. talkativeD. dishonest10. The underlined sentence in the fourth paragraph suggests_________.A. Eliot just wanted to know something with the authorB. Eliot would like to spend money in developing friendshipC. Eliot looked forward to developing friendship with the authorD. Eliot was excited for not making friends with the author11. Why did Eliot say he loved banjo music?A. Because he hoped that the author was in high spirits.B. Because he believed banjo music was very interesting.C. Because he was really fond of such strange music.D. Because he hoped the author would teach him the music.DA teenager needs to have a sense of independence in their life to feel secure（安全的）. To some teenagers independence means a lot to them, and I think that some parents don’t allow their teenagers enough independence.Independence has something to do with freedom. Some kids are not allowed to go anywhere alone, and the only thing their schedule includes is going to school, coming home, going to sleep, and repeating the process the next day. Parents tend to be afraid that their kids can get hurt if they go outside into the world. But if parents control their kids too much, they may never learn to live on their own. The best way for a teenager to learn lesson is through experience. I think it is beneficial for teenagers to have freedom.Teenagers’ lack of freedom can also stop them from having good friendship at school. Some might say this is a good thing, because it helps them focus more on their school work. I argue that this can only discourage them not to do their school work. Some parents do not allow their children to be around their friends outside the school, thinking that this will get them into trouble.But I don’t think so. Instead, isn’t this a good reason for parents to get their children a ce llphone? Cellphones allow teenagers to stay in touch with their parents, and communicate with friends.Privacy is another issue between parents and their teenagers. Teenagers tend to enjoy relaxation by themselves in their own room. This also gives them a sense of independence. It often annoys teenagers when their parents enter their room when they are not home. I know that my mom always goes in my room when I’m not home, and this has brought me to the point where I have asked many times to get a lock on my door.12．What is the main idea of the second paragraph?A．It benefits teenagers to have freedom. B．Some parents allow their kids no freedom.C．Kids know how to live independently. D．Kids have a dull routine every day13．In the opinion of the author, ___________.A．it is unnecessary for a kid to have a cellphoneB．kids should focus on the school workC．parents should make it easy for kids to communicate with their friendsD．good friendships between kids harm their school work14．How do teenagers usually feel when their parents enter their rooms in their absence?A．Angry B．Lucky C．Disappointed D．Calm15．The author hopes to have her door locked in order to ______________.A．keep her father from reading her dairy B．stop thieves from going inC．Protect herself from any harm D．prevent her mother entering her room第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分，满分12.5分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have read.(1)During the 1990s, I had spent five months in a bleak African country, Niger. There were many things I found difficult about that place the beggars were my biggest most constant gripes. They would continually thrust their hands into my face, shouting," Cadeau! Cadeau!"(gift in French)After I had finished my nursing stint there, a friend and I headed for neighbouring Burkina Faso to work in a health clinic with much enthusiasm. "It's much greener in Burkina. Even the Coke tastes better," the locals assured us.Arriving by taxi in our destination in Burkina, we began to unload. With my daypack wedged between my legs, I reached for my larger piece of luggage. Out of the darkness, a motorcycle with two men approached slowly. Without warning, one of the men grabbed my daypack as the motorcycle swept close by and disappeared into the night. The bag had my passport, money traveller's checks, camera in it. I was in deep trouble and the nearest Australian consulate(领事馆) was in Ethiopia. How was I ever going to get a new passport anytime soon?In the weeks that followed, I guarded the rest of my valuables and regarded the locals with suspicion. All I wanted was to leave that terrible place.Then walking through the Burkina's streets one day, an old woman approached me and thrust her hand in my face. "Dear lady Cadeau! Cadeau!" she cried. I had enough. I told her firmly in French," I have no 'cadeau'. I have no money. A thief stole all my money and now I can't get out of your country. I can't give you anything." The beggar woman listened attentively and pondered my words. Then her face crumpled into a toothless grin as she reached into the folds of her dress. "Then I will give you a cadeau," she announced. Kindly, she placed an old dark brown coin in my palm. I looked at it in shock. It was a minuscule amount of money but for this woman the coin represented a meal. At that moment, I felt the shame of affluence and the humility of charity. She had given me a gift disproportionate to anything that I had ever donated.In the midst of her poverty, she was able to give me something priceless. I saw then, the unexpected beauty of the people and appreciated profoundly the quiet dignity of the poor.56. The underlined word minuscule in the passage is closest in meaning to .A. unbelievableB. tinyC. unclearD. ordinary57. Which of the following Statements is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A.

The main aim of the RGS Carnival is toA. select the best RGS activityB. showcase the pupils' musical talentC. test hearts of participants with haunted housesD. raise funds for the school's CIPF(3)The amazon is the largest and most diverse rain forest in the world-about 10 percent of all known species on earth dwell there. But it wasn't until recently that researchers were about to see the 'big picture' of the vast rain forest.The new findings? Almost 400 billion trees belonging to 16,000 different types grow in theAmazon. More than 100 experts analyzed data from 1,170 surveys to e up with the figures.The vast size and difficult terrain (地形) of the Amazon basin has historically restricted studies of tree munities to a local or regional level, making it difficult to see the big picture. This lack ofinformation has hindered science and conservation efforts, according to experts.The new findings, published in the journal Science, provide the first estimates of the abundance, frequency and distribution of many thousands of Amazonian trees. Extrapolations based on the data, collected over 10 years, suggest that greater Amazonia is home to around 390 billion individual trees. The area covered includes the amazon Basin and the Guiana Shield, spanning an area roughly the size of the 48 adjoining U.S. States.While around 16,000 types of trees are believed to exist in the Amazon, half the total number ofthe types are thought to belong to just 227 species, including Brazil nut, chocolate and rubber. "This isvery valuable information for further research and policy making," said research co-author Dr. Hans ter Steege, from the Netherlands.The study also offers insights into the rarest tree species in the Amazon. According to a mathematical model used in the study, roughly 6,000 Amazonnian tree types have populations of fewer than one thousand. This would automatically qualify them for inclusion in the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species(CNRLTS)-if they could be found and identified.U.S. ecologist and co-author of the study, Professor Miles Silman said," Species too rare to find account for much of the planet's biodiversity. It's a real problem for conservation that the species at the greatest risk of extinction may disappear before we ever find them. It's a concem for the whole human race."62. The underlined word hinder is closest in meaning toA. generatedB. blockedC. sponsoredD. improved63. According to the passage, what made the collection of species information so difficult?A. The lack of experienced professionals in the field.B. The dangers of certain types of species.C. The big area and plicated geographic situation.D. The unfavourable government law in the field.64. Which of the following statements is TRUE?A. The amazon rain forest covers 10 percent of the world's dry land.B. The conservation of amazon has been done well.C. About 8000 types of trees belong to over 220 species.D. About 6000 Amazonnian tree types have died out.65. The species conservation was made difficult byA. the negative climate of the amazon landB. the possibility of dying of rare speciesC. the lack of conservation fundD. the human beings' lack of concernVI．Translation(]0％)Directions：Translate the following sentences into English，using the word or phrase given in the brackets．1．很难相信他在这么艰苦的环境中活了下来。

Most of the main attractions are centrally located, and you’ll have a hard time getting lost thanks to the city’s thoughtful construction.By bikeIf you’d rather explore the city on two wheels, do so at your own risk. Bikers will be especially pleased on Sundays, when some of Mérida’s most beautiful and popular motorways shut down to car traffic for bikes. For the event, you’ll find many bike rental shops open for business.By carIf you plan to explore the areas surrounding Mérida during your trip, renting a car is a good choice. For travelers who do not plan to leave the city of Mérida, a rental car can still be useful. If you do choose to rent a car, booking it ahead of your trip will likely save you money. Be prepared to show a credit card and a valid driver’s license from your home country.By busThere are a number of local bus ways that visitors can take advantage of during their stay. Bus stops are everywhere throughout the city, and most run from around 6 am to 11 pm. However, people who are not locals may find it difficult to determine which way to take and where to find the bus stops. See the Mérida transportation website for information on specific way.By taxiTaxis in Mérida are considered safe and are fairly easy to catch - just note that you’ll need to know some basics in Spanish to communicate with most drivers.

He was a hard worker and was known as “Mr Fix-It” to everyone. He was also one of the most cheerful, affable (和葛可亲的) and gentle people you would ever meet, which made us, his beloved daughters feel proud.But when Dad was in his fifties, my family began to notice him struggling. His work and skills began to become worse and worse, and he became depressed and withdrawn. This was not the man I knew. At the age of fifty-eight, Dad was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s disease. As for our family, it was the worst.Our first step was to attend a meeting hosted by the Alzheimer’s Association to learn more about the disease and programs that might help us. That meeting inspired me to start a Walk to End Alzheimer’s® team. But I still wanted to do more. In 2017, I became a board member of the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter.The loss from this disease is gradual. My father’s decline continued for several years. Losing my father more and more each day was leaving a big hole in my heart and my life. I decided to fill that hole with action to honor my father.That’s why I recently decided to leave a gift to the Alzheimer’s Association by naming it as a beneficiary of my retirement plan. My future gift will provide money to support research because I don’t want another person in my family or someone in other families to have to suffer from Alzheimer’s disease.I am so proud to be able to honor my father and other family members who lost their fights to Alzheimer’s in this way.

Shanghai has issued three red alerts this year, with the temperature hitting 40.9 Celsius on July 13, matching the record set in 2017 since 1873. The fact that Shanghai has experienced only 16 days of 40°C-plus temperatures since the city began keeping records in 1873 should give us an idea about the seriousness of the situation.Medical experts say extreme heat could cause nausea (恶心), fatigue, sunstroke and even death, with senior citizens and people with long-term illnesses particularly vulnerable to heat waves.Extreme heat events, which began a month ago, have affected the lives of more than 900 million people in China. Between June 1 and July 12, the average number of days with temperatures above 35°Cwas 5.3, up 2.4 days over normal years, breaking the national record set in 1961, according to the National Climate Center.Parts of Europe are also in the grip of heat waves and experiencing extreme weather events after the western part of North America faced extreme heat waves last year. In response to the exceptionally high temperatures, the United Kingdom has declared a national emergency and issued the highest-level red alert warning for Monday and Tuesday for the first time. More alarmingly, the average global temperature in June this year was 0.4°C higher than normal years and the highest since 1979, with temperatures in countries such as Spain, France and Italy exceeding 40°C．Unfortunately, extreme heat, which is directly related to climate change, will become more frequent and intense in the next 30 years, setting new records for high temperatures. As global warming intensifies, losses and devastation will increase, forcing natural and human systems to raise their adaptation limits.8．What can we know about the heat waves this year?A．It may cause more harm to the old and people with long-term illnesses.B．The number of days above 35°Cin June breaks the national record.C．Shanghai has experienced a higher temperature than that in 2017.D．The whole Europe as well as America are suffering from the heat waves.9．How does the author develop the text?A．By analyzing and concluding.B．By explaining and contrasting.C．By giving examples and quoting.D．By giving figures and comparing. 10．According to the writer, what is the trend of extreme heat?A．Becoming more serious.B．Remaining stable.C．Staying unpredictable.D．Getting controllable.11．What is the text mainly about?A．The solutions to the climate change.B．The economic losses from heat waves.C．The increase of severe heat waves.D．The destructive effect of global warming.Aasritha Duriseti recently noticed her grandmother’s difficulty opening a bottle cap. Fortunately, she found a solution in her eighth-grade engineering class at Carson Middle School in Herndon, Virginia, whose assignment was to adapt existing products to make daily life easier for people with challenges.Aasritha’s creativity kicked in as she researched existing bottle-opening devices. She used a piece of wood shaped like a cellphone and put three holes on it, each in different sizes and lined with a layer of dried, sticky hot glue, which provided firm grips (防滑力) for common bottle caps. With a simple twisting (拧) motion, her grandmother could open bottles without assistance.“Students in the class used more than their math, physics and tool skills. They also learned to look at problems from another’s point of view,” said Teacher Mark Bolt, “Engineers need to put themselves in their product users’ shoes to build effective solutions.”Other students in the class also showed sensitivity as they watched friends and familystruggle with daily tasks.Michael Kuwashima noticed how dyslexia—a reading disorder that the brain tends to confuse the order of numbers, letters and other images-made it difficult for a friend to follow along on pages full of text. Therefore, Michael created a small adjustable window-blind-style device. “My friend could isolate (分离) small sections of text while reading,” he said.Arjan Garg focused on a different problem. Sometimes putting on clothes can be hard for people with a limited range of motion. Arjan created a “dressing stick” using four wood sticks of different sizes to fit different clothing.The students tried different versions of their products along the way to make the best one to show the class.Rather than requiring step-by-step directions for creating their projects, Bolt preferred to leave students’ creative paths open. “If we want to do better, we have to have a chance to fail,” he said.12．Why did Aasritha create a new bottle-opening device?A．She hoped to get a higher score.B．She was interested in engineering.C．She had difficulty opening bottle caps.D．She wanted to help her grandmother.13．What did students learn from the class?A．Working with others.B．Conducting field experiments.C．Understanding others’ feelings.D．Communicating with product users.14．How did students finish their assignment?A．With the aid of a guidebook.B．Through trial and error.C．With the help of classmates.D．Under the detailed instruction.15．What is the text mainly about?A．An inspiring class.B．An excellent teacher.C．Some scientific methods.D．Some talented students.二、七选五Speaking of self-improvement, perhaps you want to become more productive, read moreguide to help you.Observe your emotional reactions.Our emotions can often overwhelm (击败) us and make us behave in ways we’d rather not. The first step in dealing with your emotions is to recognize your current feelings. 17 You can sit for a few minutes each day and just observe how you feel. 18 However, learning to be with yourself without distractions is an essential part of meaningful self-development. You could be surprised by what you discover.Develop a way to express your emotions.Chris Martin, the singer-songwriter and frontman of the band Coldplay, once said, “You've got to express yourself in life, and it's better out than in. What you reveal, you heal.”19 You can try art, music and sports. Or you can get a piece of paper and a pen and start a healthy outlet. A talk with your close friend, relative, or partner can also help you get peace of mind.20Sometimes emotions can be overwhelming even if you undertake all other steps to manage them. In this case, the only left option is to find a therapist (治疗师). Many successful, respected people like J. K. Rowling, Emma Stone, and Michael Phelps all promote therapy’s benefits. Turning to these professionals is one of the best ways to improve yourself. These trained professionals can provide guidance and support when it comes to coping with your emotions.A．Work with a licensed therapist.B．Receive professional training as therapists.C．This can feel incredibly uncomfortable at first.D．There are so many ways to let out your emotions.E．Remember you can’t manage what you don't know.F．It will help you improve your concentration.G．Have you thought of learning to control your emotions?三、完形填空Boundaries are everywhere.

But it is true that kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.Like most people from the West，I was first introduced to kung fu through Hong Kong action films.Stars like Bruce Lee and Jackie Chan made kung fu popular in the Western world.The flashy and impressive performances they gave in films like Rumble in the Bronx and Enter the Dragon made them household names in the U.S.and elsewhere.However，my own personal interest in kung fu was actually inspired by a hip hop group.Wu-Tang Clan，founded in the early 1990s in New York City，is one of the most influential hip hop groups in history.In their songs，they sometimes mention philosophical concepts that come from Wudang quan—a classic Chinese martial art（武术）from which they take their name—and Shaolin Temple.I was just a teenager when I first started listening to Wu-Tang Clan—little did I know that I would actually end up living in China later in my life!I myself do not practice kung fu.However，the concepts（理念）behind it are quite interesting to me.There is a Bruce Lee quote that I often think of when I’m struggling with challenges in life.“Be formless，shapeless，like water，”he once said.By this，he meant that you should be ready to adapt to and change your attitudes or beliefs when you face difficulties.I think this is a good way to deal with life.24.What does “a silly belief” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A.All Chinese people can do kung fu.B.China is most famous for its kung fu.C.Kung fu is a big part of Chinese culture.D.Many Westerners admire kung fu.25.What inspired the author’s interest in kung fu?A.Hong Kong action movies.B.A TV program about kung fu.C.Kung fu stars in Hollywood.D.A US hip hop group.26.What do we know about the Wu-Tang Clan?A.They have Chinese culture in their songs.B.They taught the author how to do Wudang quan.C.They performed Chinese martial arts in the U.S.D.They showed the author the way to live in China.27.What can we learn from the last paragraph?A.The author was sorry that he couldn’t do kung fu.B.The concepts of kung fu change over time.C.The spirit of kung fu helps the author overcome difficulties.D.Bruce Lee was the most popular martial arts master.CIn October，I told the eight-year-olds in the class I taught about my plan.“I’d like all of you to do extra jobs around the house to earn some money，”I said.“Then we’ll buy food for a dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”I hoped th ey could experience a sense of their own power to make a difference.Early in the morning，they arrived in class with their hard-earned money.And now they couldn’t wait to go shopping.At last we headed toward the checkout（收银台），pushing a cart（购物车）filled with food and all the decorations.Then someone spotted（发现）a “necessity”that sent them cheering：a pot of chrysanthemums(菊花).It was more reasonable to use any extra money to buy food.After all，I pronounced，“You can’t eat flowers.”But the children insisted and placed the purple plant into the cart.An agency had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for years.Soon we were arriving at her house.Between the laughing and those flowers，I wasn’t sure that any lesson about giving and receiving was getting through.We finally pulled up in front of a small house in the woods.A woman with a tired face came to the door to welcome us.As my little group carried the boxes of food in，she oohed and aahed—much to her visitors’pleasure.When Amy put the flowers on the counter，the woman seemed surprised.She was wishing it was a bag of flour，I thought.We returned to the car.As we fastened our seat belts（安全带），we could see the kitchen window.The woman inside waved goodbye，then turned and walked across the room，past the food，straight to the chrysanthemums.She put her face in the plant.When she raised her head，there was a smile on her face.The children were quiet.In that moment，they had seen for themselves the power to make another’s life better.28.The author gave the students the task in order to ________.A.help them focus on their family happinessB.let them experience their ability to help othersC.teach them the necessity of doing houseworkD.get them to know how to be financially independent29.What’s the author’s attitude to buying some flowers at first?A.Positive.B.Negative.C.Cautious.D.Enthusiastic.30.What did the children realize at the end of the visit?A.They could help improve others’life.B.They could make a living by working.C.It was necessary to do voluntary work.D.Plants and birds could help lonely people.31.What is the best title for the text?A.My Teaching CareerB.How to Help Poor PeopleC.The Importance of GivingD.A Happy Shopping ExperienceDWe’ve all e xperienced it. We invite a friend to dinner, only to learn that she is a Vegan. Vegan is someone who allows a diet that contains no animal meat, fish, eggs, dairy products, or any other food that comes from animals. They differ from vegetarians, who generally still eat dairy and eggs as part of their diets. Vegans also typically refuse to use any other products that come from animals, such as honey and leather jackets.Back in 2008, vegans only accounted for（占..比例）around 0.5 percent of the U.S. population, or about one million people. As of a survey taken in 2014, vegans now make up roughly 2.5 percent of the population. At least in the United States, women seem to be far bigger fans of veganism, making up around 79 percent of vegans.People on a vegan diet tend to be leaner. In a study of nearly 40,000 adults, meat eaters had the highest mean body mass index, or BML.Vegetarians were in the middle, and vegans had the lowest. Based on several studies from Finland, some scientists have suggested that vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis(类风湿性关节炎). Vegans also appear to have lower rates of hypertension(高血压) than both meat eaters and vegetarians. Vegans also typically have lower cardio metabolic(心脏代谢) risks for conditions like heart disease or strokes.While there certainly may be some health advantages in going vegan, there seems to be some common deficiencies（缺陷）in the diet. One of these deficiencies is with the vitamin B-12. The ADA states that there are no natural plant foods that contain any significant amount of the vitamin. Vegans can still get it, but they need to take a vitamin or consume fortified foods like soy milk and certain breakfast cereals. Omega-3 fatty acids (欧米珈-3脂肪酸) are also very difficult to come by on a vegan diet, but this can be overcome through the consumption of algae(海藻) supplements. With vegans requiring supplementation to meet their nutritional needs, it supports the claim that veganism is unnatural, but that doesn’t necessarily mean its unhealthy.Many health organizations, including the ADA, state that well-planned vegan diets are healthy and nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits in the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.It seems like no matter what your dietary preferences are, a healthy lifestyle can be achieved on or off a vegan diet.32. Which example illustrates he/she is a vegan?A. His/Her diet is made up of large amounts of plant-based carbohydrates.B. He/She eats meat on special occasions, usually pork, as well as small amounts of fish on a weekly basis.C. He/She believes small amounts of animal products are vital to good health, and they insist on eating them every day.D. He/She fries French fries by animal oil.33. Which statement is TRUE according to the passage?A. Finland is the leading country in the world to study veganism.B. Vegetarians had the highest mean BMI.C. Vegan diets may be helpful in the treatment of cancer.D. The number of vegan in the U.S.is on the rise.34. Vitamin B-12 can be got from ________.A. various vegetablesB. soy milk and cerealsC. waterD. sunbath35. What is the writer's attitude towards going vegan?A. ObjectiveB. SubjectiveC. CriticalD.

sleeping there.There was a cat near the baby.The mother took the cat away immediately,because the cat often lay on the baby.Then the baby couldn't breathe and it died by magic.In many countries, people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck.Napoleon didn't like black cats.He saw a black cat before the battle of Waterloo.He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore,on the Continent,the black cat is unlucky;in Britain it is lucky.In general,animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army,some have a goat for luck,and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬).When President of America Eisenhower died,there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain,Prince Charles went fox-hunting.When they caught the first fox,they killed it.Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charles.They did the same thing two years later,when Princess Anne went fox­hunting for the first time.A lot of people don't like fox­hunting,and they were very angry when this happened.It is called“being blooded”;and fox-hunters think that is very necessary.It brings good luck to the new fox­hunter,when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her.In the country,it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while birds are usually unlucky,but eagles are different.They are lucky,and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol.Also gulls are lucky.Sailors are very happy when gulls follow their ships.4.According to the passage,Napoleon lost the battle in Waterloo because________.A.he saw a black cat before itB.the number of his soldiers was too smallC.the war broke out on the ContinentD.the British were too strong5.Some of the blood of the fox was put on Charles and Anne because________.A.they are prince and princess of

when you see the first lamb in springB.The Romans made the eagle their symbol.C.In Britain,black cats are luckyD..In France,people have goats for luck.7.What's the main idea of this passage?A.People think an Irish wolfhound is lucky while a goat is unlucky.B.People in different countries take different animals as their lucky ones.C.How the baby died.D.Gulls are lucky.CAs a foreigner,I often hear the Chinese calling me laowai”.If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs,I might be angry when I am called a“laowai”.But having lived in the Philippines and China’s Taiwan Province teaching English for several years,I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here.In such situations,I just answer back in standard Chinese:“Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguoren?(How do you know I’m a foreigner?)”When I hear people shout out“hello”in a more impolite way and then laugh,I reply in Chinese with“Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao.(Your English is better than mine.)”Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China.As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan,I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family.Because I can speak Chinese quite freely,I was able to talk with my student’s entire family.From my personal experience,I knew that the Chinese have a “gift”for making foreigners in China feel right at home.That fun-filled weekend I spent with my student’s family in Caidian,a small suburb of Wuhan,just showed that my idea was right.It was an experience I will never forget.Americans have a saying:If you can’t beat them,then join them.The secret to feeling at home with the Chinese people isn’t to try to make them change over toWestern ways.The secret is to become one of them.Just go with the flow,or don’t take things too seriously.In this way you will surely feel at home in China.If you no longer emphasize(强调)our differences from the Chinese,you will be more willing to concentrate on what“big noses”and“small noses”have in common.8.The reply“Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao”shows_______.A.the author really think soB.the author isn’t angryC.the author likes to talk with the ChineseD.the author likes to speak Chinese9.Which of the following is NOT true?A.The author has known Chinese customs fairly well.B.The author is difficult to get along with.C.The author doesn’t mind being called a“laowai”.D.The author can speak Chinese very well.10.Shouting out“hello”to a strange foreigner is usually considered_by foreigners.A.rudeB.curiousC.friendlyD.brave11.The phrase“go with the flow”here means_______.A.feel at homeB.take things easyC.flow with the riverD.when in Rome,do as the Romans doDCheating can happen in a lot of different ways.When people cheat,it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating.It makes difficult things seem easy,like getting all the right answers in the test.But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't help in the next test—unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them.The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade.And,if they get caught cheating,they will be in trouble at school,and maybe at home,too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying.Other kids might feel like they can t pass the test without cheating.Even when there seems to be a“good reason”for cheating,cheating isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study,it would be better to talk with the teacher about this.And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice,you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together.Talking about these problems and working them out will make you feel better than cheating.12.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class,______.A.teachers should punish themB.it does harm to their healthC.it is unfair to other peopleD.teachers shouldn’t stop them at once13.Some students like cheating mainly because_______.A.cheating can make hard things seem very easyB.they want to do better than the othersC.the material in the test is very difficultD.they have little time to study their lessons14.We can learn from the passage that______.A.cheaters are often thought highly ofB.kids cheat in the test because of swim practiceC.parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD.people show no respect for those who cheat15.In the passage those cheaters are advised to_______.A.spend more time on school than on sportsB.find good solutions instead of cheatingC.try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD.ask their classmates for good methods of study二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Take Care of Your EyesMany of us don’t pay attention to the importance of eye care.It’s said that if you take

His food-loving family had two kitchens, and he quickly learned what was the best way to bake his cakes. Lieberman improved his kitchen skills greatly during a year abroad before college, learning from a cook in Italy and studying local specialties(特色菜) in Germany, Spain, and France.At Yale, he was known for throwing dinner parties, single-handedly frying and baking while mixing drinks for dozens of friends. Just for fun, he and some friends decided to tape a show named campus cuisine(菜肴) about his cooking. Lieberman was a real college student showing his classmates how to do things like making drinks out of dining-hall fruit. That helped the show become very popular among the students. They would stop Lieberman after classes to ask for his advice on cooking. Tapes of the show were passed around, with which his name went beyond the school and finally to the Food Network.Food Network producer Flay hopes the young cook will find a place on the network television. He says Lieberman’s charisma is key. “Food TV isn’t about foodanymore,” says Flay. “It’s about your personality and finding a way to keep people’s eyeballs on your show.”But Lieberman isn’t putting all his eggs in one basket. After taping the first season of the new show, Lieberman was back in his own small kitchen preparing sandwiches. An airline company was looking for someone to come up with a tasteful, inexpensive and easy- to-make menu to serve on its flights. Lieberman got the job.4. We can learn from the text that Lieberman’s family_______.A. have relatives in EuropeB. love cooking at homeC. often hold partiesD. own a restaurant5. The Food Network got to know Lieberman_________A. at one of his paritiesB. from his teachersC. through his taped showD. on a television program6. What does the word “charisma” underlined in the text refer to?A. A natural ability to attract others.B. A way to show one’s achievement.C. Lieberman’s after-class interest.D. Lieberman’s fine cooking skill.7. What can we learn about Lieberman from the text?A. He is clever but lonely.B. He is friendly and active.C. He enjoys traveling around.D. He often changes his menus.CMonkeys are very similar to us in many ways. Most have ten fingers and ten toes, and brains much like ours. In fact, Charles Darwin’s theory of evolution says that monkey and humans share a common ancestor（祖先）. We enjoy watching them because they often act like us, and we also love to use many expressions about monkeys in almost every language. This is why many monkey expressions are about tricky people or playful acts.Monkeyshine is one of the expressions to show tricks or foolish acts. The meaning is clear if you have ever watched a group of monkeys playfully chasing each other: pulling tails, stealing food, doing tricks.Monkeying around with something means that you do not know what you are doing. When you feel like doing something but have no firm idea of what to do, you are monkeyingaround. It is just a way to pass the time.Monkey business usually means secret, maybe illegal activities. You may come across a new report that there is monkey business involved in building the new airport, with some officials getting secret payments from builders.Monkey suits are common names for clothes or uniforms soldiers wear. In earlier years in many American cities, you would find men playing musical band organs（风琴）on the street. Dancing to the music would be the man’s small monkey that was dressed in a tight-fitting, colorful jacket similar to a military uniform. So, people began to call a military（军队的） uniform a monkey suit.8. Which of the following is NOT true about the similarities between human andmonkey?A. Most monkeys have ten fingers and toes.B. Monkeys have the same brains as humans.C. Monkeys often act like humans in many ways.D. Monkeys are humans’ closest relatives in species.9. According to the passage, an idle(懒散的) wander on the street can be described as______.A. monkeyshineB. monkeying aroundC. a monkey suitD. monkey business10. Monkey suits are commonly used to call military uniforms because they ______.A. are created particularly for soldiers’ uniforms.B. are originally designed for American soldiers.C. share typical（典型的）features with military uniforms.D. make American soldiers look like monkeys.11. Most monkey expressions are ______.A. used only in western cultures.B. used on some formal occasions.C. about tricks and naughtiness.D. about terrible funny behaviors.DDo you like to eat out? Do you like to eat quickly? Do you like inexpensive food?Some people go to fast-food restaurants for these reasons. In the past, people usually went to diners（路边餐馆）for these reasons. In fact, many people in the States still go to diners today for the same reasons.A man named Walter Scott had the first “diner” in 1872. It wasn’t a real diner. It was only a food cart. People on the street walked up to the cart to buy food. These carts served late-night workers who wanted a cup of coffee and a late-night meal. The meal was a sandwich or boiled eggs.In 1887, Samuel Jones built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside. However, they did not sit down. Later, people built diners with counters and stools（凳子）, and people sat down while they ate.Before long, many diners stayed open around the clock. In other words, people were able to eat in diner at any time. Diners changed in other ways, too. The original （最初的） menu of sandwiches and coffee became bigger. It included soup, favorite dishes, and a breakfast menu. In addition, diners soon became permanent buildings. They were no longer carts on wheels.Diners today look similar to the diners of the early 1900s. They are usually buildings with large windows. Inside, the diners have shining counters with stools, booths, and tables and chairs. People can eat all three meals in a modern diner. Today, many people eat in fast-food restaurants such as McDonald’s and Burger King. However, the diner remains an American tradition, and thousands of people still enjoy eating there. It was popular a century ago, and it is still popular today.12.What meals did the first diners serve?A. Only breakfastB. Only lunchC. Only night-mealsD. All of the above13.According to paragraph 5, diners changed in __________A. Two waysB. three waysC. four waysD. five ways14.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. Diners existed before a fast-food restaurantB. The menu included more food than sandwiches and coffee.C. Burger King is a fast-food restaurantD. Sandwiches became smaller15.The main idea of the passage is that ______________.A. the diner is a traditional and popular place to eat in the United States.B. Samuel Johns built the first diner big enough to allow the customers to come inside.C. American diners serve many types of food 24 hours a day to their customers.D. Diners are different from fast-food restaurants in many ways.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）What makes one person more intelligent than another？What makes one person a genius，like the brilliant Albert Einstein，and another person a fool？Are people born intelligent or stupid，or is intelligence the result of where and how you live？__16__We know，however，that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways，the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.__ 17__Mental exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about.__ 18__If，on the other hand，children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do，they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.__19__ According to some psychologists，if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot，then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things.

Her baby wassleeping there. There was a cat near the baby. The mother took the cat away immediately,because the cat often lay on the baby. Then the baby couldn't breathe and it died by magic.In many countries, people are afraid of black cats because they bring bad luck. Napoleon didn't like black cats. He saw a black cat before the battle of Waterloo. He lost the battle and the British won.Therefore,on the Continent,the black cat is unlucky;in Britain it is lucky.In general,animals are lucky and birds are unlucky.In the British army,some have a goat for luck,and some have an Irish wolfhound(猎狼犬).When President of America Eisenhower died,there was a horse in the funeral(葬礼)procession.This was for luck.Several years ago in Britain,Prince Charles went fox-hunting.When they caught the first fox,they killed it. Then they put some of the blood on Prince Charles.They did the same thing two years later,when Princess Anne went fox­hunting for the first time. A lot of people don't like fox­hunting, and they were very angry when this happened. It is called“being blooded”;and fox-hunters think that is very necessary. It brings good luck to the new fox­hunter,when the blood of the first fox is put on him or her. In the country,it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in spring while birds are usually unlucky,but eagles aredifferent. They are lucky,and the Romans have the eagle as their symbol. Also gulls are lucky. Sailors are very happy when gulls follow their ships.4.According to the passage,Napoleon lost the battle in Waterloo because________.A.he saw a black cat before itB.the number of his soldiers was too smallC.the war broke out on the ContinentD.the British were too strong5.Some of the blood of the fox was put on Charles and Anne because________.A.they are prince and princess of BritainB.they wanted to hunt more foxesC.a lot of people liked fox-huntingD.it could bring good luck to them6.According to the passage,which of the following is NOT true?A.In Britain,it is very lucky when you see the first lamb in springB.The Romans made the eagle their symbol.C.In Britain,black cats are luckyD..In France,people have goats for luck.7.What's the main idea of this passage?A.People think an Irish wolfhound is lucky while a goat is unlucky.B.People in different countries take different animals as their lucky ones.C.How the baby died.D.Gulls are lucky.CAs a foreigner , I often hear the Chinese calling me laowai ” . If I could not speak Chinese or if I had no understanding of Asian customs , I might be angry when I am called a “ laowai ” . But having lived in the Philippines and China’s Taiwan Province teaching English for several years , I have come to China with a different view from most other foreign teachers here . In such situations , I just answer back in standard Chinese : “ Ni zenmo zhidao wo shi waiguore n ?( How do you know I’m a foreigner ? )” When I hear people shout out “ hello ” in a more impolite way and then laugh , I reply in Chinese with “ Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao .(Your English is better than mine .)”Speaking Chinese is a way of living an easier life in China . As an English teacher at Hubei University in Wuhan , I was once invited by a student to spend the weekend with his family . Because I can speak Chinese quite freely , I was able to talkwith my student’s entire family . From my person al experience , I knew that the Chinese have a “ gift ”for making foreigners in China feel right at home . That fun-filled weekend I spent with my student’s family in Caidian , a small suburb of Wuhan , just showed that my idea was right . It was an experience I will never forget .Americans have a saying : If you can’t beat them , then join them .The secret to feeling at home with the Chinese people isn’t to try to make them change over to Western ways . The secret is to become one of them . Just go wi th the flow , or don’t take things too seriously . In this way you will surely feel at home in China .If you no longer emphasize (强调) our differences from the Chinese , you will be more willing to concentrate on what “ big noses ” and “ small noses ” h ave in common .8. The reply “Ni de yingyu bi wo de hao ” shows _______ .A.the author really think soB. the author isn’t angryC. the author likes to talk with the ChineseD. the author likes to speak Chinese9. Which of the following is NOT true ?A. The author has known Chinese customs fairly well .B. The author is difficult to get along with .C.The author doesn’t mind being called a “ laowai ” .D. The author can speak Chinese very well .10. Shouting out “ hello ” to a str ange foreigner is usually considered _ by foreigners .A.rudeB. curiousC. friendlyD. brave11. The phrase “ go with the flow ” here means _______ .A. feel at homeB.take things easyC. flow with the riverD. when in Rome , do as the Romans doDCheating can happen in a lot of different ways. When people cheat, it's not fair to other people,like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers in the test. But it doesn't solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won't helpin the next test—unless the person cheats again.Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And,if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school,and maybe at home, too.Some kids cheat because they're busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating,chea ting isn’t a good idea.If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don't have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice,you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions together. Talking about these problems and working them out will make you feel better than cheating.12.The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, ______.A.teachers should punish themB.it does harm totheir healthC.it is unfair to other peopleD.teachers shouldn’t stop them at once13.Some students like cheating mainly because _______.A.cheating can make hard things seem very easyB.they want to do better than the othersC.the material in the test is very difficultD.they have little time to study their lessons14.We can learn from the passage that ______.A.cheaters are often thought highly ofB.kids cheat in the test because of swim practiceC.parents whose kids cheat are often in troubleD.people show no respect for those who cheat15.In the passage those cheaters are advised to _______.A.spend more time on school than on sportsB.find good solutions instead of cheatingC.try hard to be intelligent rather than lazyD.ask their classmates for good methods of study二、七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Take Care of Your EyesMany of us don’t pay attention to the importance of eye care.
